With advances in man made materials, spotting a faux fur can be difficult. Fortunately there are easy ways to find out real fur from a false or faux fur. I am hoping this guide will give you clear and simple instructions about how to check on the lashes you bought to determine if it’s genuine or imitation fur.

lash extensions to determine if your lashes are traditional is the purchase price. If you bought your lashes for $5-$20 your lashes are most likely a false. You know what they saying, "you get what you purchase" If lash companies can sell traditional mink lashes for only $5 that would mean that they bought those lashes for pennies to make a revenue. Being in this business for quite some time and dealing with several lash companies like the ones who sell to brands, I can tell you that you cannot buy traditional mink lashes for pennies. We believe that if you are a lash fan who pays top dollar to get real mink lashes, you hold the right know know if you’re getting what you purchase.

Another great way to determine if your lashes are authentic is to do a burn test. Hold a match to the fibres to examine that they melt away and smell. It’s preferable you do that in a shut down area like over the toilet sink which means you can determine the scent. When burned, faux fur will most likely smells unnatural like plastics. However, genuine hair produces that distinctive burnt scalp scent. Real fur crinkles up very fast just like real human hair does indeed and burns into ash.

Now we don’t suggest you do this to your beautiful Milanté Lashes because we achieved it for you! Although it breaks my heart to burn one of our very own lashes, we wished to demonstrate the results. Just how many lash companies are willing to do that! As possible plainly see on the picture below our mink lash burned exactly like real mane and has ashes. And I can attest to the burnt head of hair smell! So there you have it, you are getting real authentic mink hair lashes for only $25! Fraudulent mink lashes aren’t comfortable on the sight, don’t have a flexible band and feel bulkier on the eyes because they’re made of plastic material. Also they don’t last you so long as real mink. In the event that you truly like to wear mink lashes you need to invest in a pair that is truly authentic.
